Part 4 Crazy Against the Sky Chapter 4356 Can Immortals Be Guilty?

This insistence may come from blind confidence that Zhao Xing is unlikely to hurt him, or it may come from the agitation and propaganda of Taoist priests.

It is said that when Song Huizong was still the king of Duan, there was a Taoist priest who prophesied: "Ji people should succeed to the great unification." Ji people together, it is Zhao Ji's words. After Zhao Ji became the emperor, his heirs were not prosperous. The Taoist priest Liu Mingkang told him that the northeast corner of the capital had excellent feng shui, and if the terrain was raised, the royal heirs would immediately prosper. Huizong ordered it to be complied with. Soon, the palace gave birth to a prince one after another. This made Song Huizong greatly believe in Taoism.

Once, Song Huizong went to Yuanqiu to worship the sky, Cai Jing's son Cai You accompanied him, and more than 100 Taoist priests held honor guards as the lead. When the team walked out of Nanxun Gate, Huizong suddenly stopped, pointed to the air in front of him and asked Cai You: "There seem to be pavilions and pavilions on the east side of Yujin Garden, overlapping and overlapping, what is that place?" ”

Cai You immediately replied pretending to be a fool: "I only vaguely saw a few buildings and palaces among the clouds. If you look closely, they are all dozens of feet high from the ground. ”

Huizong asked, "I saw people."

Cai You replied: "It seems that there are some Taoist boys, holding flags and knots, appearing in the clouds one after another, with eyebrows and eyes vivid. ”

One monarch and one minister, one question and one answer, determined that there was a god descending to earth. Therefore, the emperor ordered to build a Taoist palace in his place, called Yingzhen Palace-"From this, it is a matter of believing in the immortals." ”

There are many Taoist priests favored by the emperor, and the most is Lin Lingsu. This person has the essence of gods and ghosts, and his biggest characteristic is that he is very bold, has a great tone, and is extremely determined and decisive. His appearance is extremely strange. It is said that because of good wine, he is greedy for glasses, and he has no money. So he gave credit to others. When the creditor came to collect the debt, he "raised his hand and folded his face", and as a result, half of his face was as dry as a skeleton, and half of his face was as moist as an ordinary person.

In all fairness, with this dignity alone, ordinary people will treat him as half an immortal when they see him. And our sect leader, Daojun Emperor, is not an ordinary person. Therefore, as soon as the emperor saw Lin Lingsu. Immediately stunned, he asked suspiciously: "Has Mr. been an official in the past?" Have you ever seen me? ”

Taoist master Lin Lingsu replied: "When I was on an errand with the Jade Emperor in Heaven in the past years, I once served the Holy Master. ”

The emperor said: "I still remember that incident in a trance. I remember that you seemed to be riding a green ox, where is the green ox now? ”

Lingsu replied, "I have sent it to a foreign country." Will be here soon. ”

The emperor was surprised and delighted. Not only did he know his past life. I also found a fairy companion in the sky and earth. The emperor was in a joyful mood. Lin Lingsu is like a hypnotic master in modern psychotherapy. simply awakened all the memories of the emperor's sleeping past life. He told the emperor: There are nine heavens in the sky. Shenxiao is the highest. The eldest son of God is the king of Yuqing in Shenxiao Mansion. Responsible for presiding over the work in the south. Known as the Immortal Emperor. Your Majesty.

And then. Lin Lingsu humbly told the emperor. He is the one named Chu Huidi Xianqing in the house. Now the master is the emperor. Of course, he will also come to the mortal world to assist the king. Lin Lingsu pointed at Cai Jing and asked the emperor: Don't you remember? This is Zuo Yuan Immortal. He spoke with a rise of words. Point out the room full of people to the emperor one by one: Wang Huang is a Wenhua official. Sheng Zhang is a Baohua official. And Liu Guifei, who is as beautiful as an immortal and is favored, is Jiuhua Yuzhen Concubine An. Tong Guan and other cadres are also in the immortal class. And so it goes. It makes everyone happy: no wonder the big guys are so happy together. It's been a long time. It turns out that they were old friends in heaven in their last life.

Emperor Huizong figured out his past and present lives. Quite emotional. He sent someone to proclaim to the relevant departments. and officially canonized himself as the "(Taoist) Sect Leader Daojun Emperor".

Under the hypnosis of the place of faith. Emperor Huizong firmly believed that he was a Taoist immortal. Doing anything wrong on your own is a fairy act. And Cai Jing and other traitors are their own immortal Taoist friends - can the immortals be wrong?

There can be no fault with the gods. So Song Huizong was not wrong. He scavenged for rare treasures. Construct gorgeous pavilions. It's not just for your own enjoyment. Instead, build a godly earthly palace. What kind of sin is this? What kind of sin is this?

The students moved, and they gathered at the noon gate, asking His Majesty to issue an edict for his own crimes, asking His Majesty to belittle Cai Jing and other traitorous ministers, abolish the Lecture Department, and restore the functions and powers of the three ministries and six provinces. The emperor was unmoved; Although the emperor finally got rid of Huang Tingjian and returned to the forbidden middle school, Huang Tingjian still insisted in the Zigang Palace, and the emperor was unmoved; In the end, even another prime minister, Zhang Shangying, launched, he led hundreds of officials to knock on the que, asking His Majesty to hold a great court meeting, and the emperor was still unmoved.

At noon, news came again that the situation had deteriorated further: Zhao Xing led his army to attack Bianliang on two fronts, issued a simile, and sent troops to demand the removal of Cai Jing and the dismissal of Hua Shigang. At the same time, Zhao Xing announced the closure of the Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau and the Hangzhou Branch Bureau, and announced the abolition of a number of decrees promulgated by Cai Jing with the seal of the prime minister in his hand.

When the news came, the crowd was sensational, but the emperor was still unmoved, he was waiting for the news of King Qin.

After Zhao Xing's release, the entire Great Song Dynasty first lost their voices, and everyone held their breath in amazement, waiting for the follow-up reaction. As a result, the news that followed made them even more stunned - the Beiyang Affairs Bureau, which originally existed as a constraint on Zhao Xing, immediately forwarded Zhao Xingdi's edict, announcing the closure of all the Yingfeng Bureau, Enshrinement Bureau, and Branch Bureau in the territory of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau; Announced the abolition of Huashigang, announced the closure of the newly built Taoist temple, and returned the land to the people......

Immediately afterwards, Zeng Buqiang, who was far away in Huanqing, supported his sick body and signed his final order, ordering Zhao Xing's edict to repeal the new law as it was, and at the same time he ordered all armies in Shaanxi to settle down and prohibit changes.

Coming down, Xie Lin, who was already furious, made a lightning attack on the Suzhou Worship Bureau, who was digging strange flowers and stones around Taihu Lake, and announced that he would abide by the new laws related to Zhao Xing's edict......

The Nanyang Affairs Bureau, the Beiyang Affairs Bureau, the two lakes and Shaanxi moved one after another, and Zhao Xing himself sat in the center of the two Huai, and the officials of the two Huai did not dare to make a sound, so far, the important military and political affairs of the Great Song Dynasty almost all responded to Zhao Xingdi's order, and the other two important military towns - Zhending Mansion and Daimyofu in Hedong, they pressed the Xuanwu Army on their heads and returned victoriously, and they did not dare to express support or opposition. The army had to be reined in. Waiting for the emperor's edict in fear.

Five days later, the stalemate finally came to an end, Cai Jing sat in the Zichen Palace, his cronies and his sons and brothers sat on both sides, Cai Jing muttered: "No one will come, there will not be a soldier coming, we are finished." ”

The great eunuch Liang Shicheng ran through the palace gate in a panic, Cai Jing saw it, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Prime minister, has Your Majesty made an order?" ”

Liang Shicheng nodded gloomily. Cai Jing stood up, dusted off his robe in a chic manner, and said, "Let's go, this stage doesn't belong to us anymore." ”

It should be said that the Great Song Dynasty does not belong to you from now on, after Cai Jing was degraded, he carried a hundred ships full of family property, he went south along the canal, and history records that no one along the way was willing to sell him food. So much so that Cai Jing was so hungry that he starved to death on the way.

But. This historical description is a bit unreliable, Cai Jing can't buy food, it is estimated that it is possible, and it is not enough to starve to death, because there are always people who are greedy for money.

History also records that Cai Jing said when he was hungry: "I only know people's hearts today." ”

It is estimated that this sentence also comes from the anger of the writer of history. Actually, it is impossible for Cai Jing to say this. He was an unrepentant man.

In real history, Cai Jing was after the first derogation. The art emperor, who felt that he lacked a bosom friend, recalled Cai Jing again, until the Jin soldiers broke the city, Song Huizong abdicated, and Song Qinzong degraded him again, and then Cai Jing could not buy food with a boatload of gold and silver.

But now, history has changed slightly, because Zhao Xing opened up overseas, Cai Jing's debasement this time is not in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but in Bo Ni, Zhao Xing was afraid that things would change, when Cai Jing's ship arrived in Xuzhou, he took the lead and took Cai Jing's whole family on the boat, and sent it directly to Bo Ni by fast boat, so that he had no news in Bo Ni, and the news was silent in the long river of history.

In early June, Zhao Xing again raised troops into Xuzhou, and claimed to reorganize Xuzhou sergeants and renovate Xuzhou military facilities; At the same time, Shuai Fan entered the Zhending Mansion and took over the local army under the same pretext as Zhao Xing. With the help of Zhao Xing's momentum of suppressing the imperial court, the honest man Huang Ting resolutely decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and asked the emperor to issue another edict against himself, disperse the Taoist priests around him, and denounce the eunuchs Yang Jian, Liang Shicheng, Li Yan and othersβ€”

At this time, the emperor, who had no temper at all, completely agreed to the courtiers to force the palace.

Huang Tingjian made persistent efforts and asked the emperor to demolish the completed Yanfu Palace and build the Digenyue ......

After Zhao Xing heard about this, he tried his best to prevent Yanfu Palace from being built, and it also cost the country a lot of money and grain, and it should not be demolished at will, this time, Huang Tingjian, an honest man, did not listen to Zhao Xing's words, he insisted that the existence of Yanfu Palace would only accommodate a group of Taoist priests who cheated money, hiding dirt and dirt, and should be demolished, and 10,000 palace maids in Yanfu Palace should be released.

Yanfu Palace 10,000 palace maids are the emperor over the years carefully collected, he listened to the Taoist priest's words, every few days to choose a virgin to sleep, in order to pick yin and yang, prolong life, Song Huizong often felt that this 10,000 palace maids are not enough, but also should call tens of thousands, anyway, the country has money. Now Huang Tingjian's proposition is tantamount to stripping away his flesh and head, but now not only Huang Tingjian has moved, but even Zhang Shangying, the grass on the wall, has also put on a posture of Geng Jie, and has a posture of not abolishing the emperor's vow not to give up......

In desperation, the little emperor agreed.

A series of changes in the court made Han Zhongyan of the Beiyang Affairs Bureau also happy, he felt that at this time, Zhang Shangyingdi's new party spoke, Zhao Xing's southern party spoke, and he, as the old party standard-bearer, could not be silent, so he also jumped up. The other two parties have almost done what they need to do, and if Han Zhongyan wants to be the focus of everyone's attention, he must go further-

And he went further.

First, Han Zhongyan demanded that the crimes of the eunuchs in the palace be pursued, and that the great traitors among the eunuchs be demoted overseas and that supervision be strengthened. Then he asked the emperor to abolish his favorite concubine, that is, Liu Guifei, who was called "the immortal of Jiuhua Yuzhen Niangniang" by the Taoists, and he thought that the miasma of the imperial court was all caused by this favorite concubine.

Further, Han Zhongyan asked the imperial court to reprimand Wang Anshi, and those who proposed but dared to speak out about the new law would never be hired by the imperial court, so he proposed a long list......

Han Zhongyan's third point touched on the New Party, and it was also the Great Song Dynasty that came to the brink of party contention.

In fact, even Zhao Xing believed that some of Wang Anshi's decrees still had a positive effect, so as soon as Han Zhongyan's argument came out, the court fell into a dispute. Originally, it was unanimously aimed at Song Huizong's firepower. Because of the party strife, it was disordered again.

At this time, Huizong of the Song Dynasty completely showed a deeply repentant attitude, and he had already issued three edicts in succession - history had changed here, and Zhao Xing launched a military admonition ten years in advance, so that there was room for redemption. In the original history, when the Jin soldiers came to the city, Song Huizong issued seven edicts in a row, and his weeping repentance did not save the fate of the country, and even his favorite daughter became the spoils of the Jin people, ravaged and insulted.

Song Huizong's repentant attitude finally made Huang Tingjian a little soft-hearted, and he relaxed his pursuit of Song Huizong. and sent Wang Qinchen, the nominal leader of the Southern Party, to prevent Zhao Xing from continuing to march into the army. On the other hand, Zhang Shangying was busy dealing with Han Zhongyan's counterattack, and he had no intention of continuing to chase and beat Song Huizong, and as a result, the court was quiet.

When Wang Qinchen arrived in Xuzhou, he did not find Zhao Xing, and only after inquiring did he know that Zhao Xing was traveling at the request of a prostitute. His soldiers are still in Xuzhou and are hiring a large number of farmers from nearby. Build the so-called Xuzhou defense system.

Wang Qinchen stomped his feet and complained: "Fang Jin's official family misled the country because of women. Why did Zhao Liren also get infected with this problem, yes, yes, this pair of monarchs and ministers is really a perfect match. ”

The angry Wang Qinchen relied on him as Zhao Xing's senior uncle and rushed to Yangzhou non-stop. When he was led upstairs from the people, Zhao Xing was cruising on the second floor condescendingly looking at the flower street on the street.

The so-called Flower Street Parade. It is a unique fashion in the Song Dynasty, to put it bluntly. It's the street show of the prostitutes.

This prostitute can't be an ordinary prostitute, she has to be an oiran. In order to promote themselves, the brothels and the Oirans in order to expand their influence, held a flower street parade in the middle of each month, which lasted for 10 days, and was presided over by a popular prostitute in Yangzhou for one day.

Seeing the arrival of Wang Qinchen, Zhao Xing greeted Wang Qinchen while staring intently downstairs, downstairs is a flower street parade is a zhang Qing Song Xinxin, only to see that their team is composed of more than a dozen people, a big man in front of him obliquely holding a red, black and yellow three-color stick, making the temple angry King Kong look, trying his best to stare at the biggest eyes, this big man is the "guide", his responsibility is to drive away the roadblockers, so that the parade team can pass smoothly.

In fact, there was no way to stop the procession, and the whole street was like a freeze-frame shot of a movie, with all the vendors watching the procession of the flower street.

The procession of the flower street parade walked very slowly, and behind the guide Hou were three groups of girls, because Song Huizong worshiped Taoism, so the dress of these three groups of girls was somewhat similar to the Taoist procession, they either held incense burners, or held Buddha cen, or held clean bottles, with solemn expressions.

After the three teams of girls, there was a handsome strong man, who walked slowly, and she put a handkerchief on the shoulders of the strong man, which was to prevent the handkerchief from sweating. On the back side of Yizhangqing's body, there is also a strong man, who is holding a large umbrella obliquely in a lyrical and lofty posture, and the umbrella surface is slightly drooping, just covering the top of Yizhangqing's head, which not only blocks the sun for Yizhangqing, but also prevents Yizhangqing's face from being covered by the umbrella surface.

The big man in Yizhangqing's hand is called "Jieyin", the big man holding the umbrella is called "Zhaoying", and the two girls behind him are named "Promise", and there are two big men behind the promise, who are the replacements in the procession, called "Beiying".

Yizhangqing walked very slowly, she stopped step by step like a movie slow-motion shot, she stepped on the high wooden shoes under her feet, every time she lifted her foot, she had to draw half a circle under her feet, and then dragged the wooden shoes to the front, the picture stopped, and then, her other foot movement, that foot continued to drag the high wooden shoes on the ground for half a circle, juxtaposition with the original foot, and then the picture stopped again.

Such soothing movements and elegant movements are in line with the aesthetics of Confucianism.

A zhang qing's feet twisted and twisted her waist to twist around, but her upper body stood still, making a solemn goddess feeling, her costume was full of luxury and elegance unique to the Song Dynasty, and the golden steps hanging high followed her movements, swaying with gold on her face, and the gems dotted on it were like blinking naughty eyes. Set off the white face as porcelain, playful and charming eyes, so that the whole street people involuntarily held their breath, for fear of breaking the solemnity of this moment.

The dress is gorgeous, and the potatoes are woven into a skirt, and the top is cut according to the latest style. Her coat was embroidered with various auspicious patterns. Almost all the colors in the world are used, making her like a dazzling bright moon, and several strong men around her are dressed very plainly, the black and white checkered skirt sets off the gorgeous of a zhang qing, and several little girls in red clothes add a little lively and beating color to this solemnity, this kind of parade design skills, so that Zhao Xing is amazed.

"It's a good idea, this is simply the masterpiece of the advertising master, and the design is so ingenious between movement and stillness. The color contrast is so rich, the height, age, these combinations are simply breathtaking, this guy can definitely be an advertising master in the 21st century, and his net worth will never be a problem. Zhao Xing stood upstairs and pointed downstairs with the folding fan in his hand, amazed.

What he lamented was: In modern times, this kind of flower street parade is no longer seen in China, and whoever dares to engage in such a "street show" will be scolded as "Hari". "Traitor" - because Japan in the Song Dynasty learned from the Song people this kind of flower street parade, and then applied it to geisha. To this day, it is considered a Japanese culture by the Chinese angry youth, but it is considered "Tang style" by the Japanese.

Wang Qinchen was too lazy to worry about Zhao Xing, he was originally angry, and he wanted to get angry when he saw Zhao Xing. But the parade ceremony that was going on downstairs also made him lose his mind for a while, waiting for Zhao Xing to speak. He had only come to his senses, but by this time his anger had subsided. It's not good to lose your temper for no reason anymore.

Zhao Xing's words, he understood somewhere. Some didn't understand, so he decided to skip Zhao Xingdi's emotion and talk about business directly, he glanced at Yizhangqing downstairs, just at this time, Yizhangqing made a wink upstairs, this wink broke the silence of the street, many people cheered, and countless voices said the same sentence in unison - "She's looking at me, she's losing her eyes at me!" ”

"Who said, which eye of her looks at you, she is clearly flattering me!"

"It's me", ...... "It's me" - countless voices come and go.

To tell the truth, Wang Qinchen also felt that Yizhang Qing was flattering him, but he couldn't say this, so he had to follow the train of thought just now, and said to Zhao Xing, who was full of pride: "Zhao Xiang, it's time to withdraw the army, I am ordered to express my condolences, please withdraw from the army as soon as possible, as for the Goryeo envoys, and I will take over."

Zhao Xing shook his head: "It's so beautiful, it's so unforgettable!" All this, blasphemy, I don't know what force made those crazy people destroy it all...... What did you just say, retreat? By the way, what is the pattern of the court now? ”

Wang Qinchen glanced downstairs, feeling a smile at him again, and he replied absentmindedly: "Zhang Shangying is the right servant and the taifu; Huang Luzhi served as the left servant and led the ceremony. In the next position as the right Zhengyan, leading the Kaifeng Mansion Yin; Zhang Lei entered the Hanlin Academy, and served as Zhengzi (the chief writer of the emperor's edict) and Zhongling (the head of the central province); In addition, Shan Yi led the Ministry of Labor, Zuo Shilang, in charge of repairing the Yellow River and dredging the river, and Li Jie was promoted to the Ministry of Industry - this guy built Yanfu Palace, and His Majesty also served as the Ministry of Industry.

Now, the three provinces and six ministries we have won the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Yushitai, and the Central Province, what Brother Lu means - enough, one party to become bigger, may not be the joy of the country.

As for the rest, Zhang Shangying took down the household department, and shot with the title of the household department and the right servant, and the official department was in charge of Zheng Juzhong, the son-in-law of the king and the subordinate brother of the concubine. Jiang Zhiqi retired, Han Zhongyan took over the military department, and Liu Zhengfu took charge of the military department; He also recommended Liu Kui as a privy envoy. In addition, the criminal department is divided into half by Zhang Shangying and Han Zhongyan. Zhang Shangying's person is Zhang, and the person recommended by Han Zhongyan is Zhang Shunmin. ”

"How to ...... the province of Menxia," Zhao Xing asked in a deep voice.

"Menxia Province was originally in charge of the great eunuch Liang Shicheng, since Cai Jing's traitors misled the country, Menxia Province has been paralyzed, Brother Lu Zhi means to wait for Menxia Province to recover, when by-I think Wang Mingsuo is good, what does Zhao Xiang mean?"

"Who is in charge of the country", Zhao Xing then asked.

"Prison Country?!" Wang Qinchen stammered: "Why did Zhao Xiang ask about the prison."

Zhao Xing stared downstairs, shook his fan by the window with a smile, and continued without looking back: "Today, we are doing things lightly, going back on our word, now we have won a big victory, who would have thought that there will be no recurrence in the future, therefore, a clan must be set up as a prison country, I think the king of Yan and the king of Yue can be, when you return to Beijing, discuss this matter again, and be sure to elect a prison country." ”
